In the past, when they were in the Giant Tribe, they all lived in tents, and every time they slept, they were either woken up by the thunderous snoring of the giants, or they were disturbed by the sound of fighting and roaring.

Now back in the village of San Cachpol, Kyle didn't even eat dinner and went straight back to his room.

Kyle slept until noon before he stepped out of his room to grab a quick bite to eat.

However, in the afternoon, he did not choose to stay at home, but went directly to the Ministry of Magic.

By the time he reached the main hall, Chris had just returned from outside.

"Why are you here at this time?"

While waiting for the lift, Chris asked, "Don't you take a break for a while?" ”

"There's no need for this, just a morning break." Kyle shook his head and said, "How's the Dementors?" ”

"It's troublesome." Chris sighed, "The people in the ministry have sent out the guardian charm, but it's still not enough.

"But speaking of which, thanks to you for having Cedric work at the Ministry of Magic, he's been a great help these days."

At this time, the elevator arrived, and the two walked in together.

In the distance, someone was running towards him, gesturing as he went, as if he wanted them to wait a while.

But there was a tacit understanding, but neither of them meant to help, and the door of the elevator was quickly closed.

"How's it going on the giant's side?" After the elevator started working, Chris asked in a whisper.

"It's settled." Kyle said, "The giants fought to elect a new gugo, and we shouldn't have to worry about them getting involved in the war anytime soon." ”

"That's good, if there are giants in the war, it won't be good news for us." Chris said, "Oh yes, don't tell your mom about this, she didn't know you left with Newt to find the giants." ”

"I understand......" Kyle nodded.

The elevator was the first to stop on the floor of the Magical Beasts Management and Control Division.

As soon as Chris walked out, he thought about it and then turned back and said, "I suggest you don't go to Arthur either, including his entire floor...... Fred and George have been asking when you'll be back lately. ”

"I know." Kyle rubbed his forehead.

To be honest, he had planned to hide for a while.

Soon, the elevator stopped again.

"One Layer ......"

Kyle stepped out of the elevator and walked all the way forward, stopping in front of one of the most imposing golden doors in the middle of the hallway.

Office of the Minister.

Kyle knocked on the door......

"Come in."

The room wasn't as big as it could have been, but it was elegant, and like the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, there were portraits of the Ministers of Magic on the walls.

But they all had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep...... However, Kyle is well aware that the portrait does not need to sleep.

Fudge was sitting at a large Rosewood table, and when he saw Kyle come in, he smiled and asked:

"Oh, Kyle, are things done?"

"Yes, it's over." Kyle said.

"Well, there's no danger." Fudge stood up and said, "Originally, I didn't agree with you and Mr. Scamander to solve the giant problem together, after all, you haven't graduated yet, but Dumbledore insisted that it was okay.

"You know, he's always been stubborn about certain things, and even I can't convince him."

"Fortunately, with Mr. Scamander here, we are not in any danger." Kyle said.

"But why is the message I received different from what you said?" Fudge's expression became serious, "Let a student who hasn't graduated yet face the giant Gugo alone, if Diana knew, she would have smashed my office."

"And I myself don't approve of you doing such a dangerous thing."

"I'm sorry, Minister." Kyle said, "It's me who was so impulsive, I thought I could handle it, you know, I always had good grades in school." ”

"Giants don't show up in Hogwarts classrooms." Fudge said with a straight face, but soon, he laughed again.

"But you did, didn't you? A sixteen-year-old student single-handedly defeats the giant Gugo and averts a catastrophe in the wizarding world, enough to earn you the Order of the First Class of the Order of the Merlin.

"Actually, I did the same, but the old Merlin antiques seem to prefer to believe that Mr. Scamander did it, and you're just doing a little favor."

"There's no way around it." Kyle said, "And the fact that the Giant Incident can be solved in the end is indeed inseparable from Mr. Scamander." ”

"yes, you're right......" Fudge said, but he didn't seem to really care, "I'll continue to fight for you, can you tell me about it now, I want to know some more details about what happened in the past few days." ”

"Of course, Minister."

Kyle then spent an hour recounting the events of the previous day to Fudge.

The main thing is that there is nothing to hide, Newt has said since the first day he went there that the portkey he used was perfectly legitimate, which means that the Ministry of Magic knew about it from the beginning.

Including him killing the giant Gugo...... There was no one else around, and you didn't have to think about who told Fudge.

He repeats it now, and it can be regarded as a debriefing.

An hour later, Fudge muttered, "It seems that Dumbledore is not hiding ......"

"Minister, what did you just say?"

"Oh, nothing?"

Fudge hurriedly shook his head, "I mean, you've worked hard lately, I should have given you a few days off, but ......"

He looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the ministry is very short of manpower right now, and the Death Eaters have been very active lately, which has made people panic, including me, many of whom haven't been home for three days in a row. ”

"I understand, Minister." Kyle said, "And I've taken it upon myself to give myself half a day off, as long as I don't deduct my salary." ”

"Haha, that's as it should be, I'm going to give you a raise." Fudge smiled and said, "So do you have any good advice?" For the current situation. ”

"I think we should print some pamphlets to teach people how to keep themselves safe during this critical time." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Also, we need to raise everyone's morale as soon as possible so that they can see the determination of the Ministry of Magic." ”

Fudge's eyes lit up, he just said it casually, he didn't expect Kyle to really have a way.

"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly."

He waved his wand, and there was immediately an extra glass of butterbeer on the table.

"Thank you." Kyle picked up the butterbeer and drank it down before continuing, "First of all, save yourself, leave this to me, I'll bring it tomorrow morning, and if you're sure it's okay, you can hand it out to everyone along with the Daily Prophet." ”

"No problem." Fudge said dryly, "So how do we improve morale?" ”

"How about setting up a few heroes." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "What people need most now is heroes. ”

"That's what I thought too." Fudge looked happy. "So who do you choose?"

"How's Harry Potter?" Kyle said, "The savior couldn't be more appropriate for this situation. ”

Fudge nodded, in fact he had done the same recently, with daily news about Harry Potter in the newspapers.

"And Deputy Secretary Umbridge......" Kyle continued, "As a spearhead against the Death Eaters, her name is now more morale-boosting than Harry Potter. ”

"Dolores...... "Fudge hesitated. But she was still in St. Mungo, she had been tortured twice in a row by the Heart Dashing Curse, and she was in a bad state, what if the Death Eaters went to St. Mungo's again. ”

"Ah, I know."

Kyle said, "But Minister, as things stand, the story of a tragic hero inspires more courage in people's hearts than a savior." ”

Fudge seemed to think of something, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and said, "I need to think about this matter again." ”

"Of course." Kyle said, "If it's all right, Minister, I'll go back and draft the help booklet." ”

"Ah, let's go." "Be sure to be detailed enough," Fudge said. ”

"I see." Kyle nodded.

Then he left the room and went back to his office next door.

It's just that Kyle has just opened the door when two arms are placed on his shoulders, one left and one right.

"Hey, let's see who's back......"

"Our Senior Assistant Minister......"

Fred and George squinted their eyes and stared at Kyle with a sense of sympathy.

"Don't be so impulsive." Kyle hurriedly raised his hand above his head, "I have a hard time. ”

"Explain......"

"If you don't satisfy us, you're dead!"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Kyle wrenched free of their arms and quibbled...... Explained: "Now that you have graduated, you have to think about your family, your department was previously under the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects."

"Think about how much more work Mr. Weasley would have to do if you didn't come to the Ministry of Magic to help."

Fred and George didn't speak.

They've been so busy these days that they don't even have time to eat every day, and there are only a few people in the Department for the Prohibition of Muggle Items, and if they were all pushed to them, then Mr. Weasley probably wouldn't even have time to go home and sleep.

"Don't try to lie to us...... Fred said, "it's clearly the job of the Law Enforcement Division." ”

"Are you sure?" Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Don't tell me you didn't notice, most of the fake defense products are made from Muggle stuff." ”

"You have a point." Fred muttered, "Then why didn't you tell us in advance." ”

"I said in advance that there are still surprises." Kyle walked over to the table and sat down. "Besides, Cedric and I are both in the Ministry of Magic, is it appropriate for you to be out there and have fun? Don't you feel a troubled conscience? ”

"Not really." Fred blurted out.

George nodded, "Our conscience is good. ”

"In that case, you can go." Kyle said, "Let's go straight to Diagon Alley tomorrow and open a shop, don't use it, and I'll do that for you as for the minister." ”

Fred and George were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect Kyle to say that.

"Are you sure?"

"Can we really leave the Ministry of Magic?"

"Of course." Kyle said, "But you're going to have to find someone else for your job now, and I can't really blame everything on Mr. Weasley." ”

Fred and George looked at each other.

"Look at what you said, we're just joking, how can you take it seriously." Fred quickly put on a different face.

"yes." George also smiled and said, "Now is the time when the Ministry of Magic is most short of people, and it would be too selfish for us to leave at this time, no, absolutely not." ”

"Besides, you and Cedric are our best friends, how can we not help and go out and have a good time alone."

The two sang and talked in harmony, and their attitudes were very different from what they had been a minute ago.

There is no way around it.

In the past few days, they don't know how many counterfeit and shoddy defense products and illegal magic items have been confiscated.

Although the thing is fake, it brings them a lot of ideas that they have never thought of before, and they can become real with a little modification, and they are very popular.

In less than two weeks, more than a dozen new products were added to their Weasley Joke Store, and they were very popular.

For example, the Anti-Dementor necklace two days ago sold twenty pieces in one day, and they still didn't have time, so they could only make twenty pieces.

And more importantly, this department is for the magic item store, if someone else is in charge, it is estimated that they can be checked ten times a day, and the store will not be open by then.

Fred and George had no doubt that Kyle would be able to do such a shameless thing.

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately eagerly took out the butterbeer and cookies and placed them on Kyle's table.

"You must have been busy these days......

"Try it, Mom just baked it this morning, and it tastes great."

Kyle didn't let them know how to be careful, and took a cookie and put it in his mouth.

It tastes really good.

Then he pulled out another stack of parchment.

"What are you doing?" George asked curiously.

", it's definitely going to work." Kyle said, "I've got to write a booklet that teaches people how to protect themselves." ”

"That's a good thing." Fred rolled his eyes and said, "I think everyone needs a little magic to protect themselves right now." ”

"For example, the ...... against the Dementors," said George, "I know that there is something that, if broken, can conjure up a large Patronus Silver Mist, and although it is not a true Patronus, it can also resist the Dementors for a while and take advantage of the opportunity to escape." ”

"What's more, it's not expensive, just ten Galleons ......"

"Oh?" Kyle stopped holding the quill in his hand. "And where can I buy it?"

"37 Diagon Lane." Fred said.

37 Diagon Alley is where the Weasley Joke Store is located.

Kyle knew this, of course, but he didn't immediately refuse, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does it really work?" ”

Because they are right, in this case, in addition to personal strength, a little necessary prop assistance can also play a vital role.

After all, magic props don't need to chant spells, and they don't need a wand, so they are the most convenient means, and the only drawback is probably the high price.

"I promise." "Don't forget what we're doing, there's no way we're going to smash our sign."

"And Tonks and Moody's have seen it, and they bought two on the spot, which is enough to tell the story."

Kyle tapped his finger on the table, and if even the Aurors found it useful, then it would be fine.

Kyle tentatively said, "If you can get down to five Galleons, I can write the location of your shop in the booklet......"

"It can't be." Fred said categorically, "It's not easy to store the Patronus Charm, you need the horns of a unicorn and the blood of a fire dragon to carve the script, and the cost is seven Galleons and fifteen sicos, not counting our production costs." ”

"Then six Galleons......"

"I said, the cost is seven Galleons and fifteen sico, we really didn't lie to you......"

"Don't worry." Kyle interrupted George, "For every piece sold, the Ministry of Magic will subsidize you with one Galleon, how about it?" ”

"But there's no money to be made." Fred frowned, "Although we also want to do something for the wizarding world, we can't sell things and stick to fifteen xike, let's make up a little more, even if it adds another Galleon." ”

"If it's too much, Fudge probably won't agree." Kyle shook his head and said, "Without Lucius Malfoy's generous patron, the Ministry wouldn't have much money.

"And some things can't be measured by Garon alone, this is a brochure for all wizards, and the best advertisement, if it does, the Weasley Joke Store will be famous."

Fred and George hesitated.

Kyle was right, this was the best chance to make a name for himself, and perhaps overnight, the Weasley Joke Store name could spread throughout the wizarding world, and the benefits were enormous.

But at the same time, the more people buy, the more they lose.

Fifteen pieces of one piece is not much, but what about a hundred, or a thousand......

When the time comes, they will all be bankrupt, what's the use of being famous?

Fred and George wanted to turn it down, but they couldn't bear it......

"We really shouldn't be here today." Fred said through gritted teeth.

If they hadn't come, they wouldn't have to face this dilemma.

The two paced back and forth in Kyle's office, not making up their minds for a long time.

"Maybe there's another way."

Seeing that they couldn't make a decision for a long time, Kyle thought for a moment and said, "The Ministry of Magic should have a way to buy cheaper dragon blood and unicorn horns. ”

"As long as the cost can come down, we'll be fine." Fred and George said at the same time: "We can even just charge the cost price, no matter how much." ”

"Don't worry, I'm just saying it's possible." Kyle said, "I haven't known anything about this after all, so I need to ask first." ”

"It's okay." George said, "Even if it's just for us to lose a few sicos. ”

"Of course, it's definitely best if you don't lose money." Fred added.
